    Anything coming to the final release where you can add a version of a package?

    Hello Sherif, By adding a version I mean an active upgrade.... it should be a step where you simply reference the _X.sft file in the GUI. I do understand your point of using the manifest to extract your information

    Something I wanted to search last week. Great news that Microsoft is extending features for AppV server. Looking forward to do some testing next week.

    Hi Sherif, Is there any plans from Microsof to officially release your snap-in? Is still beta, isn't? I am having errors listing apps and adding new-packages... Thanks
